 Adair, IA. (February 24, 2015) – Ecosystem Services Exchange (ESE), a professional water management company with values on protecting and improving our natural resources, continues to build on their highly skilled staff with the addition of Jace Klein as an Intern. Klein brings to ESE a dedicated work ethic with an open mind on learning new strategies in conservation practices.

Klein’s key focus is to provide assistance to current team members Nathan Utt and Andy Mackrill as well as gain knowledge and experience in the field of water management practices that will help better our environment.

Currently in his 3rd year of college, Klein is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Agricultural and Bio-Systems Engineering, Land and Water Resources option, from Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. He is looking forward to applying practices learned in the classroom to a real world setting.

ESE is one of the world’s leaders in reducing nutrient loss from agricultural lands. They are the best investment for water quality by delivering significant, reliable, and quantifiable results. This allows farmers to meet all their regulatory requirements at a lower cost, ultimately reducing downstream impacts on water quality. Water quality and sustainable farming practices have never been as important as they are today. With all this rapidly growing concern, there has never been a better time to partner ESE.

For more information regarding ESE or any of its services, please visit our website at www.EcoExch.com or contact our Director of Field Operations, Kolby Jones, at kolby@ecoexch.com.

NACD Honors Conservation Leaders, Elects New Officer Team

New Orleans, LA—February 4, 2015—The National Association of Conservation Districts (NACD) honored conservation leaders at an awards banquet last night during the 2015 NACD Annual Meeting in New Orleans. Also at the banquet, the 2015-2016 NACD officer team and members of the Executive Board were sworn into office.

The NACD/NRCS Olin Sims Conservation Leadership Award was presented to Mike Thralls of Billings, Oklahoma. Thralls is a lifetime farmer who has served as Executive Director of the Oklahoma Conservation Commission for the past 17 years.

“Mike is a pioneer of voluntary conservation in Oklahoma, both in his service to the Oklahoma Conservation Commission and on his farm,” said Jason Weller, Chief of USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service. “I am grateful for his leadership in protecting our nation’s natural resources and encouraging fellow farmers to use conservation practices that boost soil health, promote clean water and air, and enhance wildlife habitat. Mike has cultivated a strong relationship between the conservation districts and NRCS, which has broadened the footprint of sustainable agriculture across Oklahoma.”
